I can try. I need to hit shift-command-T before I sent the message but there is nothing nagging me to do that. |

I must ask that isn't it time to change? I use to be on your side 12 years ago but HTML in email has been with us for 15+ years now. It just isn't that hard to either take the text only part of it or sanitize the html. 15 years is a very long time to procrastinate doing something that would help lots of people. |

The other choice which would help me is just reject the email. Then it comes back to me, I can covert the message, and send it a 2nd time. Its a small hassle but something that a few lists use to do. |

Within the past five years, I find fewer and fewer lists that have this restriction. I can't recall a list that has this restriction except the gentoo list at this point. It is a somewhat negative "sales" characteristic for gentoo to make this restriction. |
